Armenian PM Delays Referendum Due to EU Relations

TASS · world

Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan is reportedly delaying a public referendum, according to Armenian economist Grant Mikaelyan. Mikaelyan suggests Pashinyan tells domestic audiences that a vote should occur, but simultaneously indicates to Russia that it should not proceed. This dual messaging appears linked to Yerevan's complex relationship with the European Union, influencing the timing and decision-making process for the plebiscite.
